Black Ops 2 customization and 'League Play' brings Call of Duty to the future
For its multiplayer experience, Black Ops 2 takes place exclusively in this near-future time period.
Despite going to "the future," the setting of Treyarch's latest effort isn't as drastic a change as it was when Infinity Ward made the period shift in 2007, but many of the features found in Black Ops 2 are just as crucial as the franchise's modern era setting change. Based on these new features, Treyarch – once thought of as the series "B" team – may be the studio dictating the future of Activison's annualized Call of Duty franchise going forward. And the new position suits them.

MazurPermanentMazurIglesias A bit too futuristic? What's wrong with more modern or past times?
there aren't many more past wars they can cover, i think they've done them all...
Thats probably why they made this one the future
yeah the next one is probably going to be in the future too
Maybe not as its IW's turn to make the next

I think it's a nice change being set in the future. New modes to play with and a huge change in campaign. It sets a standard for another futuristic COD.

I still say the best call of duty was mw2 and that's the reason black ops sold so much because it came after the best call of duty game but mw2 was the best multiplayer in my option besides the noob tubes And black ops was the best for co'op with zombies they all aren't perfect games one call of duty will never be perfect but they still are great games

Well they could do the Civil war :P
I just wish they stayed with "Modern" Warfare games! Carry on the story!
